Taking A Break....The Simple Woman's Daybook

This is Day 12(Be sure and read about Linda's giveaway at the bottom of the post!!)

of our 65 Day Journey, however I am taking a break and doing the

Simple Woman's Daybook

It helps keep me "centered".

Outside my window... ~ It is cool, wet and cloudy. The leaves are so pretty with their brilliant colors, but much more weather like last night and they will all be gone.

I am thinking... ~ Why is it so difficult to adjust to the time change? It doesn’t seem to matter which way it changes, it still takes a few days for me to adjust.

I am thankful for... ~ Life….mercy & goodness!

I am wearing... ~ Old, comfortable clothes….barefoot

always, barefoot (some things never change, people)

I am creating... ~ A place of refuge for my family, where Yeshua regins and peace is the norm.

From the learning rooms... ~ The boys are busy with math & history. I think we are going to get really serious about learning Hebrew after the holidays. A friend of mine gave me a link to a site that has some wonderful teachings…FREE! I am very excited!

I am remembering… ~ Holidays when I was young, the family of my youth. I miss them, but I realize I am blessed with the large family I always wanted….still, parents, aunts and uncles are missed!

I am praying … ~ For a good friend and for our troops around the globe and peace for Jerusalem!

I am going... ~ To try and get a little more organized and try to follow doctor’s orders. (You can stop laughing now!)

I am wondering... ~ What our weather will be like over the next few days.

I am currently reading... ~Mother Warriors by Jenny McCarthy. It is about the fight to overcome Autism.

I am hoping... ~ For a mild winter, maybe one or two snows…enough to cut down on the ticks, fleas and mosquitoes …..snap a few pictures….and then warm back up! It is so much easier with animals, guys!!!

I am looking forward to...~ Some time alone with Honey-hunk!

On my mind... ~ Our crazy weather….where else can you have an earthquake, tornadoes, and flooding all in less that 12 hours?

Monday – I am so thankful for my children and grandchildren. I always wanted a large family. God heard my cries and HE blessed me!

Tuesday – I am thankful we are fortunate to live in the country! When we married, honey-hunk said he would live in a tent in the country before he would live in town. Well, beside that being his “rather” we did live in “town” a time or two, but we have been blessed to live and raise our family in the country. We’ve raised all kinds of animals, played in the creek together, gone on spare of the moment picnics, rode ATV’s, slept under the stars, gardened side by side, fished, hunted and sat in the moonlight! God has been gracious toward us.

Gina, I’m a POKES fan too! I am always for OU, until they play the Cowboys! Gotta love OSU! The picture you posted of the “woods” was beautiful!

Beth77, you always say the most encouraging things! Love when you come to visit!

Sixteen Days to Thanksgiving!!!

I chopped up the celery and onion for the dressing this morning while doing the same for the meatloaf. So, celery and onion are now in the freezer along with part of the bread for the dressing.

One more thing to mark off the “list”!

Miss it. I will be home on the 18th for 10 days. Can't wait! Heart you sweet lady!

About Me

I am ~ wife, mother, grandmother, sister, friend. I homeschool ~ therefore, I am teacher, baker, and candle stick maker (no joke, I pour handmade soy wax candles!). I love rural life in spite of the abundance of mud we sometimes have, that I wake up to horses and goats making funny noises outside our window and the fact we have "motion detector animals (instead of motion detector lights!). I am a Christian who loves exploring my Hebraic roots. I am a part of Oklahoma's rich Indian culture. I am me.
I am so glad you stopped by! Leave me a comment and I will be sure to come for a visit real soon.
